sudden disappear of visual editor

have you tried installing fresh wp in sub domain in the same server ?

ok, nothing I’ve read anywhere has worked for me. What’s next ? My install of WP is fairly uesless at present. I have no check-boxes in WRITE or in PROFILE, and no editor to be seen anywhere.

I think tomivar is on to somthing here…

Since I do not have this problem anymore but after sooooo many upgrades, downgrades, uninstalls and clean installs, I could not tell you how it was resolved if you beat me with a stick – sorry :/

So can anyone that still has these problems please check what they see when viewing these files in any browser:
https://<your.url>/<wp-path>/wp-includes/js/tinymce/tiny_mce_gzip.php
https://<your.url>/<wp-path>/wp-includes/js/tinymce/tiny_mce_config.php

Anyone get an error like tomivar?

To compare: here are the TinyMCE files used by good working install (finally)…

having same problem, but it seems to work in FF, but no luck in Safari

i know how to solve this problem… you only have to change where it says “display name publicity as” to something else, that worked with me .. ??

domi182, what are you talking about?!? Do you mean in the admin section under Users > Profile? Just change the “Display name publicly as:” option? And after that, this issue was gone?!?

Can anyone -who has this issue- please test this and report back?

I upgraded and couldn’t see the visual code, add links or even click on my smilies to add them to posts. I just cleared out my cookies and it works now. ?? Thank you for this thread, I thought I was going crazy or did something wrong in upgrading.

domi182 must have been a fluke. I tested that and got nothing. For me, a complete browser reset does not work. I haven’t gone crazy with the files on my host yet, it seems those options don’t work…….wow, it just came back. I did nothing. I closed the browser after resetting it and it came back (firefox on mac os x). Very strange. I’m scared to do anything, i don’t want it to break again.

I had the same problem (Use the visual editor when writing problem)

But I realized that the reason is the plugin I use. If you use a poll plugin (I have two different site. In one of that I use WP-POLLS and the other uses DEMOCRACY)

I reinstalled both pluggin and now I can see the visual editting bar.

I’m having the same problem under WP 2.1.3. I also have the WP-Polls and reinstalled it with no problem. I created a user who only had “Editor” priviliges and I was able to log in under that account and use the Visual Editor just fine. But as soon as I log in as an admin I lose it again.

I’ve tried most of the fixes above short of downgrading. Any other ideas?

Well, my visual editor broke again today. Can’t tell you why, and it looks like a browser reset did not help anything. I’ve played with this on multiple macs using differnt broswers with the same results.

This is really annoying. I’m no programmer so I’m pretty much stuck. Do the wordpress folks know about this serious bug?

I have solved this by disabling the Image2 plugin WPG2.
As soon as the plugin was disabled, the editor reappeared. I also tried by disabling other plugins but they were all transparent to this problem. Only this (mediocre) plugin couses the problem. Hope it helps.

I can confirm MToscans solution.

I’m using WordPress 2.1.3 with plugin WPG2 2.11 and the visual editor disapeared.

After disabling the WPG2 plugin (and refreshing the browser cache) the visual editor works fine.

Does anybody know a solution how to use visual Editor and WPG2 plugin?

Thanks

OK, I solved it!
After 3 days on it, I finally got it!

#chmod 775 wp-includes/js/tinymce

hi there!
i’ve had this problem too few days ago.
i’ve found that the problem was with the “Site Unavailable” plugin.
if you activate it be aware that this problem can happen to you.
i hope a new wordpress version cames with this problem solved.
regards
